I know in the Torah G-d specifically commands
us to love Him, the stranger, and our neighbor. In the Torah
(not the Tanach, apocrypha or oral law) does G-d specifically
state that He loves us?

Dear Laurie Zimmet,

If the existence of chocolate isn't proof enough
that G-d loves us, here's a verse from the Torah:

"You are a holy people to Hashem, your G-d.
Hashem chose you to be His treasured people among all the peoples
on the face of the earth.... Because of Hashem's love for you,
and because He keeps the oath He swore to your ancestors, Hashem
took you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from enslavement
to Pharaoh, King of Egypt."

Why doesn't the Written Torah talk more about
Hashem's special love for the Jewish People? Perhaps emphasizing
this love would arouse jealousy among the nations, who have access
to the Written Torah but not to the Oral Torah.
